Yours Truly

20: I'm bad at this, so won't you set me free?

"And that would be your hot chocolate sir. Anything else?"
"Yeah, your phone number."
Sierra giggled seeing Taehyung act all flirty. It was cute. Taehyung pursed his lips, eyes wide like a doll. Falling into laughter immediately. A heavenly melody. For the first time in forever did Sierra felt nice doing this job.
Taehyung sipped on the hot chocolate. Has it always been this sweet and warm? Or was it just his feelings speaking? His long fingers flipped the pages of the comic book. He had read this one a gazillion times. But hey! It was an intense book. Enough to kill time.

"Lisa, you don't trust the rumours right?"
Jungkook fiddled with the straw, biting the life out of it. His brows furrowed, eyes wide. Han Seo Hee was a trustable liar for the crowd.
"For the hundredth time, I don't Jungkook. It's Sierra we are talking about. She's so adorable and hugable. Besides, you both are almost like twins. Chill out dude. We know you are friends. Best friends. What Sierra is to me, she is to you."
Lisa leaned back, sipping on the milk tea. Occasionally chewing on the boba. Sierra had a lot on her plate already. And now the drama with Han Seo Hee. Should she? Should she not? Should she just pretend? Should she spill? Shrugging her shoulders, sitting up. Lisa scratched her face awkwardly enough,
"I mean, even if it was someone other than Sierra, maybe one of your admirers... I shouldn't mind right. We are after all make belief. Aren't we?"

"That was so fun!"
Rosé exclaimed. Her beautiful face beaming with happiness. Jimin couldn't help but devour every bit of that moment. As if it's been forever.
"When you start fearing about winning or losing things, you start having fun. Chaeyoung, it's always fun to live in the moment."
Jimin smiled. His heart kept praying inside that Rosé stays like this. Something was off with her lately. Not only her. He noticed the peculiar aura during dance rehearsals with Lisa as well. But as if no one notices that. Except him.
"Thanks."
Rosé tucked her hair behind her ears. It still stings that she isn't a blonde anymore. But hey, she can do nothing right?
"Your english is really good Rosé. Specially the accent."
"Yeah, I was born in New Zealand and then moved to Australia. Then we moved back to Korea a few years ago."
Jimin stopped. With puppy eyes and pouty lips. Rosé swore she saw glitter specks in his dazzling eyes.
"Would you please help me with english?"

"Why did you do that?"
The sun kept going down. An orange hue all around. As if mango puree poured all over a cheesecake batter. Jennie tried to hold on to her cold image. But how can she?
Yoongi chuckled. His gummy teeth showing. A cut on his brow. A small trail of blood on his lips. His milky white skin had some bruises here and there.
"Did what Kim?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Yoongi."
Jennie rolled her eyes. Inside she felt guilty. The fight was massive. And she caused it.
"Oh! So we are on the next level, are we? You call me Yoongi. And I call you... Jennie? Jennie Ruby Jane Kim. So many options. Ah. Mommy Kim must have really wanted you."
Yoongi submerged a giggle. Jennie looked so cute. It was evident she felt guilty. Well, there was nothing to be guilty about. But still.
"I'm not trying to incorporate a friendship between us Min. I'm just asking why did you jump in between when the fight was between me and him?"
"I don't know. But I guess we are back to the Min-Kim level again."
Yoongi hid his sigh. A tinted pain inside his heart. Everything was back to square one. As if that was the only square. He continued with a smile,
"Anyways, I'm pretty sure you hate having me around. So I'll leave you alone now. You'll take a cab home or would you walk? Cause if you are about to walk home, then I'd advise not to. The walk is tiring, and you have bruised your ankle while trying to stop the fight. It would be better if you rest."
Jennie saw him walk away. Step by step. His silhouette growing smaller. Something in her wanted him to stay. Something in her wanted to call him by his name. Something in her liked the pull and push they had between. The Min-Kim thing. The rat and mouse chase. Something in her liked him.
"But he's your enemy."
Jennie mumbled a reality check tp herself. She needs to get her head in place. He was THE MIN YOONGI.

Namjoon kept stealing glances at Jisoo. She was ethereal. How beautiful can a person be? Or was it just in his eyes? As if no one other than her existed.
Jisoo fiddled with her fingers. A crimson flush on her cheeks. Was he looking at her? Must be pity right? He can't admire her. Not now. She was a mess right now.
"Jisoo-ssi, you are the most beautiful and kind and goofy girl I've ever met. I just hope, the best one wins."
"Oh you will win. Trust me."
Jisoo smiled at him. Of course he will win. He was THE leader. He had all the potentials to be one. His voice, his patience. He was in for no bullshit. His smile could heal the world. His heart and soul and everything was for the people around him.
His gaze lowering themselves. Deep dimples at the corner of his lips. Covering his mouth with his long fingers. His voice sounded like a calming song,
"WE will win. You are you. I am myself. But I know that we will eventually come together as WE. I got this feeling. And we will win. We will win for the others. Two is better than one Jisoo-ssi."

"You really do have a long shift."
Taehyung cheekily strectched his back. The alley lit with neon lights. Sierra chuckled, walking beside him. As if both of them were glowing.
"Well, it pays atleast."
Sierra shrugged her shoulders. Nothing felt bad now. As if everything was sweet and soft. Like cotton candy. A sugar rush.
"You know, I've dreamt so much about a moment like this that now it feels like a deja vu."
Taehyung just giggled, looking away. His heart can't take it any longer. He gets too much happy around her. Can too much happiness kill?
